Chapter 73, Full Moon
In addition to the supermarket planning, there is another important reason for staying in the provincial capital, which is that Lin Xuan's child is about to be full moon two days away.
Since the Lin Xuanfu family has a strong family, the couple's first child and the only child must have a full moon wine. (Family planning, the unit can only have one child.)
"Xiaoyi, come and try this squid. Don't look at the fact that there are no peppers, the taste is really good." Seeing that Lin Yi only ate the dishes with chili, Lin Xuan's husband greeted him very carefully.
"Okay." Lin Yi was really uninterested in the white squid in the clear soup.
But for the sake of face, I had to make a gesture and squeeze a whisker into my mouth. Lin Yi had to praise him, "This is really good, it's delicious."
"Yes, my taste is definitely not bad. Come on, eat more if you taste delicious." As soon as Lin Yi finished his polite words, Lin Xuan picked up a big chopstick with a smile.
"Sister, I." Looking at the small mountain piled up in the bowl, Lin Yi wanted to cry a little, too awkward, "Sister, you can't do this, we should fall in love with each other."
Lin Yi's bitter face immediately made Lin Xuan and his wife laugh happily.
"Oh, you don't know, I'm almost done by your brother-in-law this month..." Speaking of this, I looked carefully at my mother-in-law who was taking care of the child and continued: "I've driven crazy with my mother-in-law. I can't eat chili for a month, I can't eat stir-fry for a month, I can't wash my hair, I can't go out to see the wind..."
"So, I'm going to get into the trap, you're really my good sister." Lin Yibing glanced, and without saying anything, the remaining squid in the dish was chopped into his brother-in-law's bowl, making Lin Xuan laugh.
When her mother-in-law saw the laughter and joy on the table, she turned her head and glanced, then pretended not to know, and continued to hold the child and sang children's songs.
"Are you going home for the New Year this year?" Since the New Year is approaching, according to the lunar calendar, today is already twenty-three, so the topic cannot help but lean on it.
"Yes, you have to go home for a family." As the saying goes, Lin Yi is the only one who goes home for the New Year. In the past, he had grandparents to accompany him. The unreliable father also came back occasionally, but now it's different.
According to the customs of my hometown, as long as there are people, the house cannot be empty during the New Year. Lights should be lit in every room, fires will be set in the stove, and firecrackers will be set off, which means prosperity.
So Lin Yi insisted on going back, but his uncle and aunt did not object too much, but just told him to come to Shao City as soon as possible.
Later, as we talked, we talked about Jiang Hua and the supermarket.
When Lin Yi talked about Jiang Hua's unwillingness to continue staying in the supermarket and lacking talents, his brother-in-law suddenly interrupted.
"Wife, I remember that a college classmate who didn't come back from studying abroad and was looking for something to do?"
"Why, what are you doing?" The woman was sensitive and immediately became alert when she mentioned the female classmate.
"Look, my wife is so sharp-eyed, she's stingy." My brother-in-law pretended to be like a tip of her index finger, "That's your classmate. I haven't even said a few words, you can't believe me."
"You don't have the ability to measure it." Lin Xuan didn't really take it seriously, but he loved, hated and envied that classmate.
Love is because of the relationship that they have a very good relationship, and the two have reached the point where they can talk about everything. Envy is because of the other person's face and temperament that makes them jealous. Hate is because the boy they liked at that time but loves her to death.
Thinking of these, Lin Xuan was both disappointed, sighed, and was glad, and felt that fate was teasing people.
Although they are a perfect couple, with high education, strong ability and good work, they did not expect that God would let the father and son bury them in the sea.
It is also pitiful to leave only an orphan and a retired, sickly old mother.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan was not envious or hated, and looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Do you really need to find someone?"
"Yes, but if you want a great talent, don't recommend it to me if you have a few melons and two dates." Lin Yi was not very interested in what the two mentioned. If he really had the ability, the turtles these days were valuable, so he would not be afraid of not having a good job.
"What, I dislike me." Lin Xuan didn't like to hear this, and his eyebrows raised a little.
"Oh." Lin Yi patted his trouser legs and said as if I was afraid of you, "It's not that I dislike you, but my treasury is getting bigger and bigger, and I really need big talents."
Thinking of Lin Yi’s supermarket, Lin Xuan was a little impressed and nodded in agreement and said, “Don’t worry, she is very capable, has experience in managing large foreign hotels, and has also worked in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.”
"How old are you?" Lin Yi asked this and knew that he was wrong. He was a classmate, so he must be twenty-eight or nine.
"Why, do you dislike me for being old or her for being young?" Sure enough, women are sensitive to age and are unwilling to give in.
"No, I just think, do you really have experience in hotel management at this age, and you are from abroad?" This is not Lin Yi's suspicion, but real suspicion.
"Her husband is several years older than her and graduated from the hotel management major." Lin Xuan pointed out the cause and effect.
"Okay, look for opportunities." Lin Yi was still not very interested. In the final analysis, Lin Yi was not very interested in the sea turtles these days. "If it doesn't work, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Then forget it, I'll keep it myself." Lin Xuan narrowed his slept with a slepting silkworm and made an expression of whether he wanted to love or not.
In fact, she was also in a conflict at the moment. She hoped that her college close friend would get out of the predicament and live a better life, but she didn't want her to live a better life than herself.
This is also the reason why Lin Yi was short of talents and Su Wen had known that he needed a job with good conditions, but he did not set up a line for the two of them.
After looking at this rash husband, he still felt unhappy and raised his toes and kicked under the table.
On the 25th, the day of the full moon wine, Jiang Hua rushed over early in the morning. She and Lin Xuan were like sisters, and it was impossible for them to miss such a day.
"How is it in Xiangtan?" Pour her a glass of water and sat aside and asked her.
"Okay." She took a sip of water and continued: "It's really good. We are so lucky. Now the state-owned vegetable and meat shopping mall is on the verge of bankruptcy and is preparing to restructure. However, because the place is too big, I haven't found a buyer for several months, so we are cheaper."
Lin Yi did not doubt this. Wang Tian and his wife only accepted this stall in mid-1995, so it can be seen by those who are interested in it at this moment.
Besides, although I have a little money, it does not mean that there are many rich people in Xiangtan. Another saying is that for rich people, there are many good places for reform, so they don’t necessarily care about it.
"But..." Speaking of this, Jiang Hua hesitated for a while.
"But what?" Lin Yi turned sideways and frowned and asked, "Is there any trouble?"
"Well, the trouble is not small." Jiang Hua said, taking out his notebook and turning to a page. "The design inside is quite chaotic. Even if it is simple decoration, we expect it to take a month and a half. If we follow the standards of our Shao City, the interior decoration will have to be demolished and started over again."
Lin Yi was prepared for this. After all, Shao Bubugao Supermarket was specially built according to Hualian's standards. The vegetable and meat shopping mall can only make a supermarket on the first floor, but the area is very large.
"And." Seeing Lin Yi's apology, Jiang Hua pointed to another point and said, "We have had preliminary negotiations with the government over there. The price is fine, and it is within our budget. That's..."
"It is because the local government has requirements that we must accept 40 laid-off workers." Speaking of this, she looked up and explained to Lin Yi, "This is a hard rule and there is no room for maneuver."
Jiang Hua was a little worried about this. She knew Lin Yi and was particularly strict with the appearance, ability, loyalty, and team execution of the employees.
When recruiting people in Bubugao Supermarket in Shaoshi, they always pick up people with honest and upright facial features. In her impression, among the laid-off workers, there are all kinds of people, which is what she is worried about.
Accepting laid-off workers is a feature of the times when state-owned enterprises and institutions are reorganized. Lin Yi feels that he does not have many choices, but he is not a fool, and he wants any kind of laid-off workers.
"Have you seen those people?"
"I visited the vegetable and meat shop many times, and I have a general understanding that they were originally from the vegetable and meat shop, so most of them were women, but some of them did not meet our standards in terms of appearance and age." Jiang Hua originally wanted to say that some of them had a very poor image, and several were almost retired, but they swallowed them back when they were in their throats.
